What Does IDEA Stand For?
IDEA stands for Individuals With Disabilities Education Improvement Act
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) is a U.S. federal law aimed at ensuring that children with disabilities have the opportunity to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE) that meets their unique needs. Established to promote educational access and equity, IDEA mandates specific provisions for individualized education programs (IEPs), parental involvement, and the provision of resources and support to enhance educational outcomes for students with disabilities. The law emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and provides a framework for collaboration between parents, educators, and service providers.
